  • Kindergarten Tech Scholars Part 2

    Funded Sep 18, 2020

    Working remotely as a special education teacher requires me to always think of ways to keep my students engaged in lessons. My scholars learned best with visual support. My students were very interested in my lessons since it involved technology. The iPads allowed my students to view colorful, bright, and animated educational resources. The iPads allowed my students to have the flexibility to participate in hands on learning by drawing, circling, writing and listening to the media in real time. The students were able to use the Ipads for Nearpod lesson, and to complete asynchronous and synchronous assignments. My students were very excited since they were able to do their work using the IPads

    Thank you so much for everyone who supported this project for my students. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity through this unprecedented time. My students and I appreciate you. This means the world to my scholars. Please stay safe and be well. Sending you all Virtual Hugs!”

    With gratitude,

  • Learning With My Hands

    Funded May 21, 2020

    Thank you so much for all of your generous donations! These curious scholars were engaged with earning since they had the opportunity to touch, feel, play, and explore. My students learned best through hands-on real-life experiences. My little scholars learn even better when they can actually touch the knowledge. These materials allows my students to participate in asynchronous and synchronous assignments throughout remote learning.

    Being a Special Education Teacher for Kindergarten students with Autism required me to modify all my learning resources based on my students' unique learning styles. My Kindergarten scholars learn best with visual support and most importantly hands-on experiences. With the generous donations, I was able to create my own adapted books since it allows my students to use dry erase markers to label pictures to words, circle answers and even write words or sentences. All of these engaging hands-on activities required lamination pouches for them to be sturdy for my students. Velcro allowed my students to move and match pictures based on lesson content. It was very helpful to have all of the learning resources laminated since it helped me to create each activity based on each student individual needs. I was able to provide my students with hands-on experiences at home. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity through this unprecedented time. My students and I appreciate you. This means the world to my scholars. Please stay safe and be well. Sending you all Virtual Hugs!”

Working as a kindergarten special education teacher requires me to always think of ways to keep my students engaged in lessons. My Kindergarten scholars learn best with visual support. They always seem more interested in my lessons when it involves technology. The iPads will allow my students to view colorful, bright, and animated educational resources at home. The iPads will allow students to have the flexibility to participate in hands on learning by drawing, circling, writing and listening to the media in real time. Since I started teaching remotely, I realized how much my students are excited when they can do their work using technology. Please help me keep all of my students engaged in distance learning during this unprecedented time.
